Tracking outbound links in google analytics

[CrazyLazy]

So I'm tracking outbound clicks in Google Analytics with this: http://www.google.com/support/....py?hl=en&answer=55527. The problem is the outbound clicks show up as page views in analytics, basically screwing up the rest of my stats. Is there a way to separate the two so outbound clicks are not counted as a page view.

Kind of related, when I look at the detailed description of the clicks on the outbound links it tells gives me a time. Does this really reflect the time a user spends on the external page? And if it does how can google track something that happens off site?

track it as a goal - not sure of the JS for that off the top of my head.

Okay looking at this now, http://www.google.com/support/....py?hl=en&answer=72712. I have all my outbound clicks logged in analytics as http://example.com/outbound/urltheuserisgoingto. So I can just enter /outbound as the goal page and all outbound clicks will be logged through that?
